We provide personalized representation to everyone we represent. We pay specific attention to your concerns and offer the service and guidance you need to resolve property division issues effectively.

The Equitable Distribution Process

The division of property during
the divorce process can be extremely contentious. As New York is an equitable distribution state, this means all assets and property purchased during the course of marriage (known as marital property) may be subject to property division during the divorce process.

Such a process does not, however, mean that the property division will necessarily be equal. Factors for division include length of marriage, the employment, skills and education of both spouses, the amount of debt, the health of the spouses, and the appreciation in value of certain assets.

The assets that may be subject to division include almost everything most valuable to you. These assets include:

Real estate

Retirement accounts and 401(k)s

Investments

Business ownership interests

Motor vehicles

Furniture and objects of art

Courts may make determinations that assets are marital property as well. This can even include inheritances received during the marriage.
